Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

If it's repaired before registered, it'll get a clear title...that's why wrecks travel.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

'98 996 , 3.8l X51, Motons etc...imported back to Germany, has some damage.

POST 2Original post

I don't see that it was a US car before? Funny, no real description of what kind of accident it had, crazy wheel damage, but they just note transmission damage, also doesn't sound good. I do like the idea of 405 all-motor hp in a 996 C2.

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Bumprettes, lots of US tuning goodies and this: Ist us Reimport. I think that it's been curbed while on a slide... You're correct, power to weight ratio is better than GT3's or even un-tuned turbo's.

POST 4Original post

Quotes source post: 7157909

From the pics I know enough to stay the heck away from the car. Seller didn't even replace damaged wheels. Lots of mods. Track oriented. Probably a "ring" car. Word is Germans drive the heck out of their cars. Car has been "pranged" obviously from the wheel/tire damage. Suspension likely bent. Maybe even tub if impact hard enough. I'd not touch car unless running gear stripped off and car placed on Celette bench and all hardpoints checked for proper positioning. Even then, unless car priced very attractively and one was going into purchase with eyes wide open I'd give this one a miss. Sincerely, Macster.

POST 5 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

The seller is specialized to wrecks ( sports car dismantler ) and it says that it's customs cleared and taxed to Germany, not registered, so IMO it's bought as it is from US parking lot / insurance company and shipped to Germany. Not the first one of it's kind, mobile.de has all the time US re-imports with damages, usually even the pictures are from across the ocean, this time they seem to be from Germany. If it's repaired before registered, it'll get a clear title...that's why wrecks travel. So who's willing to make a confession?
